The Nursing Advisory Board (NAB) was formed in 2023 and serves the community of interest. The mission of the NAB is to provide support to the Associate Dean of Nursing, and leadership of the John A. Ware School of Nursing. This body of health care professionals provides feedback regarding the school’s mission, vision, goals, student learning outcomes, and program outcomes for the BSN program and graduates.
The Associate Dean provides the board members with program updates, and the members keep the board informed of relevant changes in service that may impact nursing education and the curricular. All proposed curricular changes are presented to the board for input and recommendations. Our goal is to achieve excellence in nursing education and practice.
